Hi, here is our graduationvideo. It has been fun, and we are looking forward to much more fun from your future classes.
Great job! Mia is so cute with all her tricks! I see you also really mastered the stay and heeling now too!!! Let me know which video you want for graduation!
Thank you, it is fun working together on the tricks, and we enjoy it very much. If possible we would like the Speed & Conditioning video.
:o) Mia & Lara
Sure, it’s in your mail!
Oh my, hadn’t seen that the graduation video was due to the 22 january… Better get my self pulled together and make the video this week when i have vacation…
There is actually no time limit, we’ll be happy to see it whenever you get it done! 🙂
Wauw, you’ve all become so far -- I’m going to miss this class as I really enjoyed watching how you’ve progressed.
I will soon post our graduation video -- we’ve taken a break, as I noticed that both Sookie and Vini didn’t perform equally on right and left side. For instance, Sookie couldn’t lift her left rear leg when doing the “side-2o2o” and Vini didn’t circle as tight to one of the sides. I took them to a osteopath and yeah, they needed treatment. As they weren’t limping or in other ways showing they needed treatment, I wouldn’t have noticed if I wasn’t doing tricks with them! Another great reason for doing tricks with your dog 🙂
Glad they’re fine now! I think we’re waiting for several more graduation videos anyway…
That happened to Miss Pippa and me too! 🙁 We will post video one of these days, but we had to stop while I took her to her vet and chiropractor for evaluation and some stretching exercises. Nothing serious, but of course we are much better off working on it now rather than waiting until something happens! We’ll watch for your video!
Hi all!
Just a little word. We are late with Kalhy but we are still training tricks. I think I will post the graduation video in 2 or 3 weeks. I hope that’s ok?
I really enjoyed this class, that was great to see all your videos, all your smart dogs (they are all superstars!). I have learn a lot and so did Kalhy 😉 I know I will miss you all. If I have enough money in february I hope to join the fondations class. See you soon!
Iris & Kalhy
No problem, just post it when you’re ready! Would be great to see little Kalhy in Foundations too!
Hi Silvia & class mates
It’s been very fun teaching Vini (and Sookie :-)) all the tricks and also very fun to watch all your videos of your awesome dogs! I’m indeed going to miss this class. Hope to see you in another class.
Here’s Vini’s graduation video. We can still improve and haven’t learned all the tricks, but anyway believe she has learned a lot 🙂
…video is uploading now and for some reason taking a long time…
Great job! She sure mastered many tricks and well, it’s always good to have some more left to work on! 🙂 The peeing dog was hilarious! And heeling looks really nice now! And what a funny style of stacking bowls! Let me know which video you want for graduation!
Oh my goodness, could she be any more dramatic with the bowls? “Aaaaand now I will stack this bowl!” Hilarious! Great video!
Wow, SUPER job with all the tricks!!! I love Vini’s backwards fig. 8. You guys make it look so easy! 🙂
thanks all!! Yeah, stacking the bowls like that is so typical Vini -- she goes crazy whenever she has something in her mouth -- when she’s tugging she really gets wild 🙂
Vini has some favourite tricks -- lifting her rear legs is indeed one of them and also circling/glueing at my legs are top on list, so figure 8 was easy to learn her. But tricks like backing I never really got her to understand unless she was stepping up on an object.
Silvia, I think I have all your videos except speed&conditioning but that one I would also really like. Assume it’s as good as the others 🙂
Sent!
How cute is that! 🙂
Thanks, Natalie! Hope Pippa is okay again.
Hi Silvia and classmates, finally here is our graduation video, we learned a lot and had so much fun. We still need to master many tricks, we will keep working on that 🙂 I hope to see you in other class.
What a good boy Astro! He sure mastered many tricks -- and did lots of growing since that first video! 🙂 Let me know which video you want for graduation!
Thank you Silvia for the gift 🙂 I would like to have speed & conditioning.
Astro is now a big boy and loves to learn new things 🙂
O.k., sent! Forgot to ask… How is Aqua now?
Silvia, thanks for asking, she is great now,she is more relax at home, she was always crazy, maybe because she is older now 🙂 I’m teachin her 2on 2off like Astro learned, I’m in this class I’m waiting to have my own dog walk, I think is important to train RC 3 times per week, and the place where we can go is too far and now because my work I can go only every 15 days, so Acqua is going to have running and stoped contacts, do you think is to dificult? I will videotape her and post the video doing some course 😉
Oh, so her leg is perfectly o.k. now and she can already do agility? And yes, sure, you can have both 2ono2ff and RC!
Great job, Ana & Astro!!! I love the bonus trick with the crate door at the end! 🙂 Astro is so cute!!
Cute! And what a gorgeous yard you have, I’m insanely jealous. I bet playing fetch up that big hill builds strong hindquarters!
Muy lindo!
Wauw, Ana -- great job! Astro is so cute 🙂
Ciao Silvia
Here is my video I have to apologise the very bad quality but I’m not a video expert…. Thanks a lot Silvia for your support and all your tips and tricks and thanks for all the video I learned a lot. It was real fun and we looking forward for the next class.
Hasta pronto
Andy and Indy
Very cool to meet Indy, really great to see what a GREAT job our silent auditors did too!!! I love her skate-boarding style, pushing with one leg -- very cute! Great hand stand, backward figure 8 and heeling too! Let me know which video you want for graduation!
Fantastic turns in heeling, I’m impressed! Speed and energy -- both of you are great in that!
I’m impressed with the heeling too! 🙂 Really cool to watch! Great job, Andy & Indy!!!
Indy looks so happy to be your dog!
